I took my kids every summer to the church museum. It always had the Spirit. And seeing everything drove what those in the past did for us today. ❤❤❤

REPENT AND BE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

[jesuschristlives]

I did the same but fasted. I saw Jesus Christ in a dream that night

[Hanfam]

This is why I had to come up to you the other day and say hello love it

Your tagline is misleading: You're telling part of the backstory of how the Book of Mormon was discovered and published, but this clip has nothing to do with who Moroni was.

The Book of Mormon is a living and true miracle. ❤❤❤

It's all so unbelievable! And yet I believe it completely, wholeheartedly. I believe in Joseph Smith, Moroni, all of it. The many times I've read the Book of Mormon have been the best times of my life. I believe it is scripture and that God wants us to have it and learn from it, along with the Holy Bible. ❤

What is so hard to believe about this? Idk why people down on the Mormons I just started reading the book of Mormon that I received from some amazing young men (missionaries) and I think I felt the holy Spirit Ive never felt anything like it before I don't know if I'm going to convert yet but I have went to church and actually had fun so we will see...

[unpopularopinions]

Truth must be substantiated by evidence. Where is the evidence?

[henryar]

Super cool I believe every bit of it I know it's the truth

[UTBanjo]

Wait, which first vision, because there are 4 different accounts of it?

[edwardodonnell]

Got time for them very clever committed people.

[Ans-zvgv]

Go to Delafé testimonies and see the Morman Priest. In Jesus name.

[senorbb]

Ah but there's so much more to those nine years. So much more...

[belogical]

It's from Jacob (Israel) and Rachel's children. His child Joseph and then his son Manasseh's descendants.
We probably wouldn't have a Book a Mormon if Joseph fell for Potiphar's wife.

[taylorseibold]

After which version of the first vision?

[Biblicaltruth]

Galatians 1:8 says:

“Even if we or an angel from heaven preaches a different gospel, let them be cursed.”

That’s exactly what happened with Moroni:
• He claimed to be an angel.
• He gave Joseph Smith a new gospel.
• He said the Bible was corrupted.
• He pointed people to Joseph, not Jesus.

🚨 But the Bible already warned us:
• Real angels don’t preach new gospels.
• Real angels point people to Jesus, not new books, new prophets, or secret golden plates.

Paul’s words in Galatians 1:8 aren’t being twisted. They’re being fulfilled.

⸻

👏 Final Point:

Moroni didn’t restore the gospel — he replaced it with something fake.
And God told us ahead of time not to believe any angel, even if they look bright, if their message doesn’t match what Jesus and the apostles already taught.

I thought Moroni was an Italian name. There is an Italian motorbike company called motor moroni.

Had an encounter with an angel but continued his treasure seeking?
